A lot of planning, cleaning, and reevaluating is happening. With that, June 5th will be the last evening where we'll have our "Pay What You Can" blue plate specials. We'll still be serving our grilled cheese with tomato soup, salad and a cookie during the week from 11am-1pm.More changes will come soon as we get closer to our reopening, we will continue to honor the promise to help our community to the dignity of a warm meal to anyone in need. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon!!-Love, Black Sheep Team.

The team at Black Sheep is still going strong, and we're still working hard to provide a hot meal to those in need. It's been two weeks since we started working as a community kitchen, and three since we last had our customers enjoy a meal dining with us. During these past few days, we've seen our beautiful Kansas City come together during these times of uncertainty, making us even prouder of our community, our collective determination, strength, and care.Black Sheep Community Kitchen is open and serving lunch and dinner every Monday through Friday, through a pay-what-you-can model, which grants access to all to a nutritious, farm-fresh meal. So whether you're strapped for cash, or looking to pay it forward, we offer a delicious grilled cheese with tomato soup, micro salad and a cookie for both, lunch and dinner, and a dinner "blue plate special" which rotates, so no one has to go hungry nor feel ashamed.

​How does it work?!We offer lunch Monday-Friday from 11-1, the menu will always be our grilled cheese, tomato soup, salad and a cookie. The suggested donation is of $10 per meal.For dinner, we offer every Monday-Friday from 5-7pm, our grilled cheese and tomato soup option, as well as at least one "blue plate special". These blue plate specials have been in previous days: meat loaf with mashed potatoes, baked zitti, pork tacos, etc. The suggested donation for our dinner "blue plate" is of $16 for an individual meal, or family-style for $32 which feeds 3-4 people.You can order by calling us at 816-541-3929. Pick up is through our "no-touch table", a table we've set by our doors to provide a safe distance to deliver the food.You can donate either with cash, credit card, or through paypal or venmo!! Got no cash? No problem at all, we take smiles, air high-fives, and a good word of mouth for the next person in need.

How can I help sponsor some meals?Would you like to pay it forward and get some meals for a family/neighbor/friend in need? Perhaps treat some first responders, nurses, or someone else making it through these times and needing a helping hand? Give us a call, and we'll help you set it up.
